KAHN CLERK D. C. Docket No. 07-00107-CR-ORL-28-GJK UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ELIAS MALDONADO, a.k.a. Gordo, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (October 30, 2009) Before TJOFLAT, EDMONDSON and COX, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Michael G. Donaldson, appointed counsel for Elias Maldonado, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant, because, in his opinion, the appeal is without merit. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, and Maldonado s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED. 2
